Look of the day using MAC Cosmetics

So to kick things off, I thought I'd start with a look I sported today. 

Generally when I have a day in I don't plan on wearing makeup, but after depotting the majority of my MAC powder products (eyeshadows and blushes) I couldn't help but renew my love for some of the shades.


Products used:

Wet 'n Wild Primer
MAC Expensive Pink
MAC Naked Lunch
MAC Texture
MAC Kid
MAC Corduroy
MAC White Frost
MAC Brule
Diorshow Iconic Overcurl
Essence I <3 Extreme Volume Mascara
Kiss Lashes in No 11.


To create this look today I started by priming my eyes with Wet 'n Wild's  primer.  Then on a fluffy and large blending brush (Smashbox Crease Brush) I applied Kid as a transitional colour to my crease to aid in further blending later.  Focusing primarily on the lid towards the outer corner of my eye, I applied Expensive Pink.  To really make sure I packed the colour on I used a small eyeshadow brush with densely packed bristles.  Using the same brush, I applied Naked Lunch on the inner third of my eye.
Taking that same fluffy blending brush, I applied Texture to my crease to further define the shadow there.  Switching to a more densely packed blending brush (Hakuhodou J5523) to ensure more colour was deposited, I applied texture again focusing directly into my crease and outer lid to ensure more pigment was deposited there then diffused outward.  Taking that flat eyeshadow brush I then applied White Frost to my inner tear duct.

Finally I took my J5523 and Corduroy and applied it into my outer lid and blended it into the crease and outer lid.  To finish the lid and blending, I took a clean large blending brush and a tone similar to my skin, Brule, and blended out any harsh edges.  And to complete the look I smudged a combination of Texture and Corduroy under my eye and finished it up with Dior Mascara on upper lashes, and Essence on lower and added falsies.
